what was with cameron house md she spends 90% of the episode saying she wants their patient to die bc he's a genocidal dictator and her colleague husband says "babe it bothers me for ethical reasons that you want our patient to die :(" and she said "hm maybe you're right :/" but when it comes down to it the genocidal dictator lays a finger on her in an aggressive manner and chase instantly commits medical malpractice to murder the guy and then when he tells her she LEAVES HIM bc boo hoo he's a murderer now like GIRL he killed a man for you!!! he's wracked with catholic guilt!!! he's being crushed beneath the weight of his sins because he chose his devotion to you over his devotion to god!!! he literally could not get any sexier at this moment in time!!!

You know what. Why do we as a touhou fandom not talk about the fact the pc98 songs are canon. They exist. In canon. Akyuu has them documented and has probably heard them. Someone within touhou's universe wrote them. Reimu could probably actually listen to her own theme. Were the songs actually written about the events of those games?? Was eternal shrine maiden written about reimu?? Was love colored magic written about marisa?? I'm going insane

Your work on Flavus/Arminius has not left my mind and probably never will. I am in so deep…Have you seen the series Barbarians? If so, what do you think of its handling of the two, Marbod included?
I HAVEEEEEE I love it and I'll defend it from the Roman Military Enthusiasts on twitter with my life
that said, I have. hrhg. complicated feelings about how they chose to handle the narrative arc with the siblings, I think s1 was a lot more confident and cohesive in the story they were telling, and s2 was a bit. huh. there's a very specific tension going on with all three about the violence and trauma of forced assimilation and their own relationships to roman imperialism, which is so deeply fucking enthralling to me, but (spoilers under the cut!)
the decision to kill off Flavus when they did is. a little baffling to me, because he's an essential counterbalance to Arminius and I'm not sure what exactly they wanted out of that, narratively. I think it would have been better to keep Flavus around because I think it would be interesting to have him suffer outliving his brother and watching what Rome will do to everything and see how he feels about it, but I also don't really think that this angle is what the show is going for.
basically, I'm waiting until s3 to have any definitive opinions on the story, because I enjoy it enough to want to wait and see how they go forward! I'm curious about what arc they were setting up for in s2.
also wrt to Marbod, his and Flavus' relationship was a fucking lightning strike of genius, and in addition, that specific kind of intimacy that comes from an underlying shared experience (Rome), it was a really interesting portrayal of Marbod that made his friction with Arminius take on interesting dimensions!
